HIKE-a-THON

Woodlands Conservancy's 2026 Hike-A-Thon is an effort to raise funds and awareness for local land conservation. This is your chance to get outside in nature alone or with your like-minded friends to give back to your community by walking, hiking and/or running a marathon, 26.2 miles at your own pace. You can hike the Bottomland Trail (5.43 mi.) at Woodlands Preserve less than 5 times and complete your challenge or choose a variety of places you like to visit. You can do a mile at a time or all at one time - set your own pace. Hikers, walkers and runners will have from October 1, 2026 through October 31, 2026 to complete  the challenge. Registration is open until 6 a.m. October 26, 2026. What do you get for registering? Your registration fee will fund land protection and restoration. All registrants will receive an Individual Woodlands Conservancy Annual Membership. All registrants who complete the Marathon, will receive the above plus a Woodlands Conservancy Nature Guide.
